Feedback

My students talked about Tristan’s visit for weeks afterwards. She totally blew their minds and gave them a whole new paradigm for thinking about love, relationships and diversity. —Princeton

Tristan is masterful at engaging students in meaningful dialogue about sexuality, and in encouraging them to think creatively about sex education. —Columbia School of Social Work

Tristan’s presentation combined her personal experience working in the porn industry with an articulate feminist political analysis. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dynamic and engaging speaker with first-hand knowledge of the creation of feminist pornography. —Hunter College

Tristan is neither an apologist nor a cynic, and I think attendees on all sides of the issue were impressed with her nuanced and unflinching portrayal of the realities of porn. —Brown University

Her spunk and charisma made her presentation vastly entertaining, and the humor she brought into the classroom made it easy for students engage with her. —UC Berkeley

Tristan Taormino has an uncanny ability to connect and interact with her audience, creating a safe space where questions are encouraged.  Her lecture fostered a sense of community on campus and inspired important conversation even after Tristan left the stage.
—University of Washington

I’ve never seen black, white, gay and straight students and faculty so interested in any one subject or speaker, or seen them so intellectually stimulated. —UNC Greensboro

Tristan’s lecture was much more interactive than many speakers I’ve come to see—Tristan was different and, I think, better. —Wooster College

Tristan shook things up in a way that no one had. No other speaker has ever drawn that much attention. Hers is one of the most important queer feminist voices of our time.” —UNC Greensboro

Tristan’s speech changed the social climate on campus, it generated public discussions about sex and sexuality that no other event could have generated. —Colby College

Tristan’s week long residency offered an empowering perspective on sexuality that is lacking in so much “sex education.” In addition to giving a different talk or workshop every night, Tristan met one-on-one with students to discuss any aspect of human relationships and sexuality. Students were lined up outside her door. Some students told me that Tristan Taormino was the only adult non-peer who had ever discussed human sexuality with them. For many students, this opportunity to have all their questions answered in a confidential, candid, and non-judgmental way was life-changing. —University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign

What People Are Saying About Tristan...

“It was much more interactive than many speakers I’ve come to see—those who lecture for the full time and leave a very short time period for very quick, easily answerable questions. Tristan was different and, I think, better.”
-- The College of Wooster
